The King Arthur Case is the seventh installment of Jean-Luc Bannalec's bestselling mystery series.

The forest of Broceliande, with its picturesque lakes and castles, is the last remnant of the fairy kingdom, if Breton lore is to be believed. Innumerable legends spanning thousands of years are set here, including the tale of King Arthur and the Round Table.

It seems to be an appropriate destination for Commissaire Dupin and his team to take a late summer field trip. But when the body of a historian turns up, Dupin is called upon to investigate in the brutal murder case. Before too long, there are more victims. What knowledge do the assembled scientists have about the most recent archaeological digs in the area? Where do they stand on the controversial decision to turn parts of the forest into an amusement park? And why is no one willing to talk? Even Nolwenn, Dupin's unshakeable assistant, is concerned. And that means trouble.

Mysterious, ingenious, and suspenseful: Dupin's seventh case takes him and his team into the very heart of Brittany.

love the reader but it's a very choppy editing, the beginning of some sentences are cut off

great story

What a terrible narrator. What happened to Jean Brassard? He was the best. An American accent for a French book is jarring.

Graham Halstead did a good job with the narration. While I enjoyed Jean Brassard’s narration in an earlier book, I think readers with no background in French. I have found it a little, frustrating to understand names, and places. Unlike the rest of the series, which I have enjoyed, this book seemed to drag, I kept wishing for it to “get on with it.”

Narration was fine, Story dragged.

The arc of the story is as good as any in the murder mystery genre and will probably appeal to fans of this series, those with an interest in the middle ages, and those intrigued by Brittany’s connections to the Celtic world.

Two changes would have made this a better product:
* The narrator has a flat American accent and has little variation for the characters save one, for whom he uses a British accent that, considering the characters are French, comes across as odd.
* The text is translated very closely to the original French but would have benefitted in several areas by using words and phases more typical of native English speakers.

Interesting Story Line
